My Fedora 40 is also btfrs for the main but /boot is ext4.  The Ubuntu box
came with Windows 11 so it has /boot/efi which is vfat. The Fedora box is
the old Dell before UEFI was a thing.

 Same with version 39 of Fedora. So SuSE wants to use brtfs for everything?
 I think Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint all still default to ext4. Seems to
work fine for me.

btrfs seems to be superior to everything else but XFS, at least theoretically. I guess that much like Communism, it doesn't work out too well in practise.
